00 — Overview

What the NC7WZ17 does

The NC7WZ17 is a dual buffer with Schmitt trigger inputs from the TinyLogic UHS series, available in commercial, industrial, and military temperature grades. It features ultra-high speed with a typical propagation delay of 3.6 ns into 50 pF, high output drive of ±24 mA at 3 V, and a broad operating range from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The device matches LCX performance at 3.3 V and includes over-voltage tolerance inputs facilitating 5 V to 3 V translation. It offers power-down high impedance inputs and outputs, proprietary noise reduction circuitry, and comes in space-saving SC70 and MicroPak packages. These components serve applications requiring fast switching speeds and robust input handling in compact form factors.
